Needs and Uses: On October 27, 2020,
the Commission released the All-Digital
AM Broadcasting Report and Order,
FCC 20–154, MB Dkts. 19–311, 13–249,
where it adopts rules to allow AM radio
stations, on a voluntary basis, to
broadcast an all-digital signal using the
HD radio in-band on-channel (IBOC)
mode name MA3. This action benefits
AM stations and their listeners by
improving reception quality and
listenable signal coverage in stations’
service areas and by advancing the
Commission’s goal of improving the AM
service, thereby helping to ensure the
future of the service. AM broadcast
station licensees are required to notify
the Commission of a change to alldigital operations using Digital
Notification Form, FCC Form 335–AM.
Specifically pertaining to this
Information Collection, in the AllDigital AM Broadcasting Report and
Order, the Commission requires AM
broadcast stations to electronically file a
digital notification using the existing
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
75013
FCC Form 335–AM Digital Notification
(or any successor notification form) to
notify the Commission of the following
changes: (1) The commencement of new
all-digital operation; (2) an increase in
nominal power of an all-digital AM
station; or (3) a transition from core-only
to enhanced operating mode. Although
we direct broadcasters to use the current
Form 335–AM for all-digital
notifications, additional information is
required for notification of AM alldigital operations specifically.
Therefore, until the Form 335–AM is
updated to display the new all-digital
operation requirements, we direct filers
to select ‘‘N/A’’ as appropriate within
the form and submit an attachment
containing the following information.
These new all-digital AM notification
requirements have been added to new
section 73.406 of the Commission’s
rules.
(a) The type of notification (all-digital
notification, increase in nominal power,
reduction in nominal power, transition
from core-only to enhanced, transition
from enhanced to core-only, reversion
from all-digital to hybrid or analog
operation);
(b) the date that new or modified alldigital operation will commence or has
ceased;
(c) a certification that the all-digital
operations will conform to the relevant
nominal power and spectral emissions
limits;
(d) the nominal power of the alldigital station;
(e) a certification that the all-digital
station complies with all EAS
requirements; and
(f) if a notification of commencement
of new all-digital service or a nominal
power change, whether the station is
operating in core-only or enhanced
mode.
The All-Digital AM Broadcasting
Report and Order also revises and
reorganizes the digital notification
requirements formally contained in
section 73.404(e) of the rules by
removing paragraph 73.404(e) and
adding new section 73.406 Notification.
The Notification Requirements
Contained Under 47 CFR 73.406 Are as
Follows
Hybrid AM and FM licensees must
electronically file a digital notification
to the Commission in Washington, DC,
within 10 days of commencing IBOC
digital operation. All-digital licensees
must file a digital notification within 10
days of the following changes: (1) Any
reduction in nominal power of an alldigital AM station; (2) a transition from
enhanced to core-only operating mode;
or (3) a reversion from all-digital to
